Visions of the Future series – a collection of space travel posters of colourful, exotic and imaginative  space ‘destinations’. Each space travel poster imagines future explorers living and working in places across the solar system. 

 TRAPPIST-1e is an almost Earth sized planet approximately 40 light-years from Earth. Current research suggests that it is the planet with the greatest chance of being an Earth-like, ocean planet and the one most worthy of further study with regard to habitability. According to the Planetary Habitability Catalogue, TRAPPIST-1e is one of the most potentially habitable exoplanets discovered so far.

This is the information NASA supply with the poster. “Some 40 light-years from Earth, a planet called TRAPPIST-1e offers a heart-stopping view: brilliant objects in a red sky, looming like larger and smaller versions of our own moon. But these are no moons. They are other Earth-sized planets in a spectacular planetary system outside our own. These seven rocky worlds huddle around their small, dim, red star, like a family around a campfire. Any of them could harbor liquid water, but the planet shown here, fourth from the TRAPPIST-1 star, is in the habitable zone, the area around the star where liquid water is most likely to be detected.  Take a planet-hopping excursion through the TRAPPIST-1 system.”

Our posters are carefully and professionally created from vintage originals. Whilst great care is taken in the production of these posters, we also try to maintain a vintage feel, so there may be small imperfections, fold marks, scuffs, tears or marks that were part of the original poster master. If these do appear they should be visible on the larger views of the item on this listing. The originals of many of the posters we offer can cost many thousands of pounds, so whilst these posters look great, especially framed and mounted on a wall, they are intended as a fun, affordable reproductions and not intended fine art prints.

The 50x70cm version has been specially produced to be used in conjunction with Ikea’s 50x70cm Ribba picture frame which currently retails for around £12. So you can bag a print and frame for a great price.
